PROTECTING THE SACRED, CREATING PEACE IN ASIA-PACIFIC: PEACE & POLICY, VOLUME 17
Book ID/图书代码： 13149013B61274
English Summary/英文概要： Using case studies from the Middle East, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific Basin, this book examines the global trend of violence against religious places and figures. The contributors believe attacks on sacred places to be particularly damaging to peace and harmony because of the centrality of religion in many Asian and Pacific countries.
A diverse range of topics are covered, including an empirical exploration of the global trends of violence against sacred spaces; attacks against and policies toward holy sites in Israel and the Palestinian Territories; the fate of Indian Islamic monuments after India gained independence in 1947; the Christian community’s response to the increasing Islamization of Malaysia, and the future of communalism in Malaysia. Africa and Australia are also referenced in the work.
Taken together, this volume explores the importance of protecting sacred spaces, holy symbols, and religious people as a crucial element in fostering peace in the world, and especially the Asia-Pacific region. The contributors argue that much of the violence in the world is rooted in politics of religious identity.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 通过对中东、南亚、东南亚及太平洋地区的案例研究，这本书探讨了用暴力反对宗教地区和人物的全球性趋势。编著者认为，因为宗教的中心多在亚洲和太平洋国家，所以袭击圣地会对和平与和谐造成特别大的伤害。
这本书涵盖了多元化的议题，包括对暴力袭击圣地的全球性趋势的实证探索；对以色列和巴勒斯坦的圣地的攻击及政策走向；在1947年印度获得独立后，印度伊斯兰古迹的命运；面对马来西亚伊斯兰教徒的增加，基督教社体的应对，以及日后在马来西亚的自治；非洲和澳大利亚也将被提及。
综上所述，本卷探讨了保护圣地、神圣的符号以及教徒的重要性，当它们被视为促进世界和平的关键因素，尤其是在亚太地区。编著者认为，这么多暴力的根本原因是宗教在政治上的身份。(LNL)
